Everytime I'm in Orlando I try to make it by Rey's Cuban Cafe for a bite to eat, it is run by fantastic people and they have amazing food! Supporting local businesses is the backbone of what we do at #combatnight . This is also the location we filmed a scene from at.
Always good times with the Combat Night Crew!

Despite the beautiful connections and weather that came with my first days in Los Angeles, the city itself was-in a word-underwhelming. Born in a place that makes me feel high (New York) and raised around the palm trees, beaches, and theme parks of Florida, it takes rich culture or vivid ambience to make me really fall into a place. Some places buzz and hum as if a dream-or make me feel so grounded that I can’t deny I’m alive-but LA felt more like watching Netflix with a bowl of Cheerios-and I couldn’t decide if this was a good thing. It felt immediately comfortable-like I’d been there before- and Beverly Hills and I just didn’t click. Once Nick arrived a few days in, we started to explore Hollywood itself, and I felt a spark. When we met up with many from our acting tribe in Florida, I started to feel magic. When I left, I missed it. I realized in hindsight the “lack” of stirring energy (coupled with reminiscing only once gone) was like a home- perhaps in another life. Perhaps it could be one of mine in this one. ?
Edit: Reposted with the right photos!
And guys... I liked it. I just had to get a feel. Chill.

I haven’t formally gotten to share how magical it was to see “A Brilliant Monster”-an indie film made on a $2,000 budget-premier and compete in the “Dances with Films” Film Festival (@danceswithfilms) at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. I was honored to be a part of it in supporting Nick and some of our most talented friends from Florida, as well as having my name on the casting department list for the project (having worked with the production company to cast several projects at the time). We spent the day oscillating between hilarious banter, personal anecdotes, and artistic encouragement over drinks with our peers-sharing the bar with celebrities and remembering what it was like to be surrounded by likeminded people. I braved the midnight premier on little sleep and with a 7am flight to my own shoot back in Portland on my tail-but it was so, so worth it. A Brilliant Monster was not the hometown underdog, thrown in the mix for the background story-but rather a deserving and exciting look at the price of success and the influence of ambition. The performances were spectacular, the story intriguing, and the cinematography, at times, shockingly executed. Any flaw was more than compensated for, every scene had me on the edge of my seat, and the film would have stood alone as one of my favorite low budget indie features of all time even if it wasn’t dripping with friends of mine. Once this is available, I absolutely recommend it to indie/psychothriller lover. ⛩
Sorry for the double photos in there, but I can’t take it back now. ***

Last but certainly not least (re: the premier), Nick Leali’s performance in “A Brilliant Monster” was perfection per usual. Nick played Nick (though the character was different than himself) and was almost solely responsibly for the comedy in “A Brilliant Monster” aside from one line (if I remember correctly), and the responsibility rests easy on his capable shoulders. He has a flare for timing and authenticity, able to have a higher energy than others without going overboard-retaining a filmic quality while being creatively free. The care his character felt for the main character and on-screen wife was palpable, and his choices in some of the most significant moments- unexpected, yet somehow absolutely right. Very proud of him for pulling off this project during a difficult time. I don’t know why he’s not famous already, but I’m excited to see where he goes in the future. ?

Only 4 days left on set for A Brilliant Monster!
